Mr. Wu&ljttm sn'ij as the preservaliott ftf has been orjerecl to reidbrco the Fjenca sr-
good humor seemed to hereg.nd. u .\s of im-
portanc-----
Jslr, M'-R'ti interrupted liim ami said the
motion he understood was not now under
consideration, but he had proof in his pos-
session that the charge against gen. Wilkin-
son was false.—All the witnesses came as
good citizens ought to do. He hoped there-
fore the present motion would be postponed.
Mr. fPlcl-bam said that it was surprising
that Mr. M'Rae shouldhavs interruptedhiin
the manner which he did in the reply he
intended to make to Mr. Hay. Motion or
r*o motion, he allowed every thing which
came from Mr, Hay worthy of reply. He
could not but remark the many inconsisten-
cies occurring during this present business.
Mr.B. he said had stated clearly the purport of
>t»otl.—That he repeated it again and a-
gaift to the court; and as he did not mean
ro take tbein by surprise, it should be made
to-morrow. This, however did not satisfy
the gentleman. He found fault not only
• with the motion itself, but he found fault
with the looks and manners of Mr, Ran-
dolph and then went into a long speech to
shew the impropriety of the motion. Mr.
Hay he observed had got into the habit of a
parliamentary phraseology. That he for
his own part was not habituated to such
language. That Mr. Hay seemed to ima-
gine that he was in the legislature and was
arguing accordingly. Mr. "Wickham also
understood the first motion always had a
precedency, and he hoped therefore, the
court would consider his motion first. This
new invention of substituting othor motions,
Tie trusted therefore would be laid aside, and
the first motion considered. He contended
that the jurisdiction of the court to punish
mal-jH'acticw, ought to be sustained.
Hit ub" ct, lie s.iid, was not to inflame the
public mind. Put what has gen. Wilkinson
done ? !i.' lias dragged reluctant witnesses
here! nod yet this is not to affect col, Burr.
He has also taken witnesses exparte at the
point oi the bayimet to make depositions.
He would aftirm that persons going about
and taking depositions by hirer, tts many
had done, were acting in the most improper
ipa^nner, and ought to he punished When
at igi nt is employed to go awnt the coon
try ro obtain, depositions, that such a prac-
tice is contrary to the genius and usage of
the country, and contrary to the laws of
England,. That such a person is most cer-
t.v. by attachment. He would
'<:>:. Col. i'iirr, he said, was of opi-
• 1)1 should go forth from
tV'ti" wuudover in recognizance ;
but hi; would e.h'iim that from the moment
Wok an active part in the
present prosecution, that the attachment
..it firth.
Mr. V'^'ckhcim then adverted to the case
of libel, pnde by Pendstate Lete, that it was
customary for iibellers to he punished in
, and certainly much more ought
p ' 1 ! guilty of the charges made against
General Wilkinson, to be punished. But
because this motion aright hurt or affect
General Wilkinson, the attorney though! it
ought not to be sustained ? Did General
Wilkinson shrink from investigation ? Did
the attojuey sin ink from investigation ? He
hoped not. Mr. Wickham therefore hoped
the court would hear the motion to-mor-
row. Adjourned,

Translations, wic.h are considerably inter-
esting-— all prospects of peace had van-
ished, and the land about to be again stain-
ed with the blood of thousands ! How
dreadful the calamities brought upon the
world by the insatiable, the wicked am-
oition of that Monster, who drays all
Europe, as it were, into a military vor-
tex !
The latest accounts from the grand armies
were to the 24th of April—At which time
no general action had taken place, but was
momently expected. Both the French and
Russian armies had received immense rein-
forcements. The head quarters of the Frerch
were at Finkenstein, and those of the Rus-
sians at Kartenstein, about forty English
miles distant ; but their advanced corps were
only 5 miles apart, and had frequent skir-
roisl
All idrss of peace had vanished : An ar-
ticle from Vienna dated April 18, states:
" It is apparent that the new campaign be-
tween the Russian and the French armies
will foon be opened ; the negociations for
peace are at an end. We remain neutral.

LOinDON, May 2.
We have received some numbers of the
Moniteur, from the 19th to the 22d hist ;
and also of the Hamburg Correspondent to
the Q3d. General tjenningsen had recon
noitered the position of the French army
on the 1st April. The emperor of Russia,
and the grand duke Constantine, had joined
him at the tiead of a reinforcement of 80 000
guards. A general engagement has proba-
bly taken place before this time. We stated
in a former paper: the raising of the siege
of Stralsund, and that, the French were pur-
sued in their retreat by the Swedes. The
latter have suffered hyr their temerity. They
were attacked on the 16'tl) by Morfeier, who
assembled all his force, raised the bloc'.ade
of Colberg for that purpose, and drove them
across the Peeue, with the loss of six pieces
of cannon and 1000 prisoners. The French
b'ave quitted Hamburg, and are endeavoring-
to form an army in the Mecklenburg terri-
tory, under the hourly terror of an expedition
from this country.

TRIM, OF BURR.
Our corre 'puinn-Ht at Richmond, under date
of the 19th, informs, that the grand jury had
examined thirty.three witnesses 1 seventeen
remain to give their testimony ; it was expect-
ed the grand Jury would return their verdict
to-morrow, the " twenty third "
A discussion of some length took rhioe (on
Friday the i9lh) on a proposal made by Mr.
Hay that gen. Wilkinson should he informed

¦liim—when mr. Randolph explicitly stated,
dmt the purport of the motion would he to at
t.u-k the -.ON DUCT OF GEN WILKIN-
SON IN THE PRESENT CAUSE.
It ma- not le d.e'nod improper to inform
our readers 1 tprevious tq the arrivalof«pen.
W. at Richmond, the gentleman by whom wc
are fin hi proceedings thought it
not sufficiently important to attend constantly
in court Hence the necessity we wei-e un-
der of frecrasntly eOpjiiiff from the Enquirer
Now that the witnesses have arri-'ed, and the
trial prerisestn go on without interruption,
we shall regularly publish as first anhouncod,
We are sensible, oi having* overlodfeed no inter-
esting- ma Iter, except the following" remarks by
no- E.it ANDOLPH, which, to complete the
jou'-nal of proceedings,should be placed under
dt ¦¦¦ of the (I tvenj!) June : —
•* The gentleman lor the prosecution* has
to day, sir, given us an eulogium upon him-
self and his associate friends. He has pic-
tured to us the zeal and the anxiety he has
had for the production of those papers, and
has assured us that he has already taken
means for having them here. I thank the
gentleman for his exertions, but at the same
time I must beg leave to remark the equal
zeal with which he and his friends .combat
our application. II Mr. Burr were now ask-
ing you for these papers, without she -ing
any probable cause that they were material,
this indeed would be a wanton, womanish,
feverish curiosity ; but it is no such curio-
sity; we have shewn in the fullest manner,
that they arc matirial, and of the first im-
portance. It is said, by the production
that gen. Wilkinwn, that huge Atlas, on
whose mighty shoulders the American world
is sustained, is wished to be represented as
a man in whom confidence ought to be
placed. But I fay, .if the production of
these papers were to effect the annihilation
of gen. Wilkinson, that I h pe and be-
lieve no other visible chasm in the creation
would be produced, but in that portion of
space at present occupied by his , material
body. How can the rank and safety of
gen. Wilkinson be concerned in the pro-
duction of these papers? Gen. Wiilsi -son is
only an organ in the hands of government.
As to his glory, I behave its meridian splen-
dor is set, and that he will be no Jonger
worshipped as it- political Messiah of A-
merica ; but even if he were crucified, I
trust it would make no seta in, our time.
Suspicion, at all events, belongs to him—
He stands in that character which is always
regarded as odious, that of an approver-
He has confessed himself guilty of the most
heinous of crimes, ferthe purpose of entrap-
ing others, of rendering others erjually infa-
mous as hunself."
